Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

About our tile repair in Freckenham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Freckenham: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
